Arguing in neighbouring room two nights in a row

[Holwoes12]

They returned to the room next door around 11.30-12pm Thursday night and were arguing loudly, three small children I’d say between 9 months and 3yo. Last night they started at 5 past 12, it seems to be when the bar closes, they are not English so I cannot understand what’s being said, just very loud shouting and children screaming and crying as a result. Last night I banged on wall, it went quiet. I saw them leaving the room this morning, they both put their heads down. Today we’ve sat round the pool, out they came arguing, pointing fingers at each other and shouting. We’ve just sat down outside for evening entertainment, they came sat at the table next to us, lo and behold they’ve started arguing, shouting and finer pointing in each others faces yet again! Their eldest DD pulled her chair upto our table and sat with us. I just picked up our drinks and bags and moved. The hotel is totally full so no room change available, we have another three nights here. Is this normal abroad? To me it looks like total chaos!

Poor kids.

Maybe the gesturing and shouting are signs of affection and love for each other.

People spend thousands to live in a nice area in the UK.

But when they go on holiday they want a bargain.

Guess what? The kinds of people you'd normally run a mile to avoid have booked into the cheap resort too! Either pay more or enjoy observing the "rich tapestry of life" for the week. All part of the experience!

Yes maybe it is their way of showing affection.

My poor DS wondered what the hell was going on being woken upto that the past two nights in a row unfortunately.

@HorseyMel this was far from cheap, i just really wanted a break from cooking, cleaning etc 24/7. Mega lesson learnt thought which is why we booked all inclusive.

@HorseyMel apologies that didn’t make much sense.

I booked a fairly expensive all inclusive, to have a proper break.

Lesson learnt though!

Can you speak to the hotel?

Being near other people is often shit in general.

I'd be concerned.

Ring reception as soon as it starts and ask them to deal with it. If they don't then bang on the wall. It's worked once and sounds like they where ashamed when they saw you the next day. Don't let them ruin your holiday.

I agree lol - it’s partly why I find holidays so stressful!

People argue in expensive hotels too you know...

Couples with money argue too.

Their poor children. Unfortunately it's probably a shit little existence for the kids but there's nothing you can do about it long term.

I would still tell the hotel though, it may be enough that they warn them to stop making the noise.

Well I'd probably have one cocktail too many and tell them they should split up and co-parent

Sounds fucking awful. But why be do dramatic as to move away from the girl? Just let her sit at the table 🤷

@Hungrycaterpillarsmummy my little boy was sitting at the table too. I didn’t want him to listen to it again

Yes. I like seeing different places etc etc.
But I bought a place in the country for a reason. Not too many people around. I have so much that I love here.

Put 100 people in a tower block and round a pool. They are going to upset each other. Personally, when I'm away I'm out most of the day walking up hills and around places. But each to their own.

Me and my fiancé went to an expensive hotel in Greece. When we were relaxing around the pool we observed at least three arguments 😂
I think it happens anywhere regardless of whether it's cheap or expensive!

I used to have some fantastic holz, but just lately I always seem to end up by those who spend half the night dragging furniture around the room, watch loud TV, or argue. It’s exhausting as I change rooms at least twice, & as much as 4 times in 2 weeks. A safe bet is booking B&B & staying in 3 different areas & small hotels. That way I usually get at least 2 out of 3 right.

I feel sad that the little girl was going for sanctuary at your table and you moved away :-/

I would have approached them and pointed out the kids felt scared and unsecure..

@Intriguedbythis I do see your point, perhaps I should have moved her to another table with my DS.

Complain to the hotel and get them to have a word.

And if any of the kids come to your table for a bit of a break and to sit with some people who they obviously think can give them a bit of protection, maybe be a bit more, well, adult/maternal about it?

God knows what their home life is like.

Be thankful you only have another 3 nights, these poor kids have had a lifetime of it.

Complain to the hotel or your rep
